If you're doing your Word file properly that is without trying to "trick" the program into formatting exactly how you want but by using the miscellaneous classes (Title1, Title2, ..., Normal and so on) and just changing the style of those classes to get your preferred format, inserting page jump at the end of chapter instead of passing a bunch of newlines and such things, you'll get an excellent result after exporting to filtered HTML and converting into epub with Calibre, you will even get a proper table of contents (which is lacking in many epub...). (Sigil often allows you to touch up the little bit that didn't work out)
Now that may not be as good as directly manipulating your HTML code, especially if you have some advanced needs (notes, special formatting) but for a basic book, it's better than nothing.
